About

Since 1996, in parallel with my teaching and work activity in the field of textile industry, I dedicate myself to the artistic activity of printing and hand painting on fabric. Never disregarding the industrial print techniques, it is my wish to explore and to keep alive the artistic possibilities of craftsmanship, which have always been characteristic of the territory in which I live and work.

Aiming to this, my interest has gradually grown from printing itself to the physical modification of the fabric, creating unique works.

In my work I seek the creation of a moving tridimensional surface, using, printing and colour effects. I intend to recall nature and its organic elements, to evokes a sensation of fluidity, movement, the deepness, the fusion, the consistency and the vegetal, animal and human forms.

In the present works I used photographic manipulation and digital printing. The works recall ancient photographic albums, lithographs of exotic vegetation, birds and male nudes. Still, the elaboration of the images reduces the intensity of their iconographic connotation, provoking thus a rupture and a contrast that allow them to interact with the environment in a totally new way.
